SSENSE — Design System

light · modern · medium · custom · confidence 45% · deep decode

SSENSE is fashion-editorial brutalism: Times Now serif at 100px/400 setting magazine headlines ('How Brick Became a Status Symbol...') in grey #333333, Favorit at 20px for the commerce, zero border-radius anywhere. Product photography floats on clinical white while the type flips between broadsheet and price tag — a store art-directed like a culture journal, which is the brand.

# SSENSE — Design System

> light, modern, medium, custom — deep decode (measured live)

SSENSE is fashion-editorial brutalism: Times Now serif at 100px/400 setting magazine headlines ('How Brick Became a Status Symbol...') in grey #333333, Favorit at 20px for the commerce, zero border-radius anywhere. Product photography floats on clinical white while the type flips between broadsheet and price tag — a store art-directed like a culture journal, which is the brand.

## Colors

| Role | Value |
|------|-------|
| bg | `#FFFFFF` |
| surface | `#EFEFEF` |
| border | `#D8D8D8` |
| text | `#000000` |
| text_muted | `#606060` |
| primary | `#CC0000` |
| accent | `#FF2B00` |
| link | `#FF2B00` |
| button_bg | `#000000` |
| button_text | `#FFFFFF` |

**Using these colors**

- **Action color** `#000000` — the single interactive color; it appears only on things you click or must notice (buttons, key highlights), never on large fills or backgrounds.
- `accent`, `link` are all `#FF2B00` — one role, not several.
- **accent** `#FF2B00` — accent for emphasis — keep it rare on the page.
- **primary** `#CC0000` — a brand color — but the call-to-action uses #000000, not this.
- **Page coverage** (full-page screenshot pixels): `#7F7F7F` 46.3% · `#4E4C4A` 20.1% · `#0A0A0B` 12.8% · `#FFFFFF` 9.7%

## Typography

- Heading: **JHA Times Now** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_
- Body: **Favorit SSENSE Inter** _(free fallback: Newsreader)_

| Role | Size / weight · line-height · tracking |
|------|------------------------------------------|
| hero | 100px / 400 · lh 94px · tracking -3.75px |
| h2 | 67px / 400 · lh 72px · tracking -2px |
| h3 | 53px / 400 · lh 60px · tracking -2px |
| body | 20px / 100 · lh 26px · tracking -0.05px |
| small | 19px / 400 · lh 26px · tracking -0.25px |

- Weight ladder: 100 · 400 · 600 · 700 — use these exact measured weights, not the 400/600 defaults.

> **Fonts —** JHA Times Now may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts). Favorit SSENSE Inter may be proprietary — safe free fallback: Newsreader (Google Fonts).

## Spacing
- base unit: 10px (inferred from the measured scale)
- measured scale: 10px, 12px, 15px, 20px, 29px, 30px, 40px, 55px, 80px, 107px — snap all gaps/padding to these

## Radius
- base: 0px
- button: 2px
- card: 10px
- sharp: 2px

## Buttons

| Button | Fill / text | Border | Radius | Padding | Font | Shadow |
|--------|-------------|--------|--------|---------|------|--------|
| primary | `#000000` / `#FFFFFF` | 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0) | 2px | 12px 10px 12px 10px | 600 13.008px / 0.13008px | none |
| secondary | `#FFFFFF` / `#000000` | 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0) | 2px | 12px 10px 12px 10px | 600 13.008px / 0.13008px | none |

**States (measured, not guessed)**

- primary focus: outline `1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0)`

## Shadows (elevation)
- card: `rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2) 0px 0px 18px 0px`

## Motion
- durations: 350ms (dominant) · 400ms · 500ms
- easings: `ease` (dominant) · `ease-in-out`
- animated properties: transform

Micro-interactions use the dominant duration + easing; nothing on the page animates slower than the longest duration above — don't invent springier motion.

## Layout (measured)
- container max 1260px
- nav: 94px fixed · bg #FFFFFF

## Motion choreography (measured)
Load order: `div.onetrust-pc-dark-filter` @0ms → `div.otFlat` @0ms

Rebuild the timeline, not just the durations — order, delays and staggers above are the choreography.

## Components (measured)
- link: #333333 · no underline

## Responsive (measured)
- breakpoints: 480px · 568px · 599px · 768px · 950px · 992px
- mobile (390px): hero 40px · body 11px · nav: inline

## How to apply
Paste the Tailwind `@theme` (or CSS variables) as your base, then build each
section to its spec — verify every color, radius, and font against these tokens.
Hover/focus states, shadows and motion timings above are measured from the live page — match them exactly, don't re-guess them.
